Turning Adversaries Into Allies: Building Community-Wide Support for Your Initiatives in Mathematics Education

Presented by Mike Flynn

Any initiative in mathematics education, whether classroom-based or state-wide, requires support from stakeholders (students, parents, administrators, school board, etc.) if it is going to be successful.
